J, I think the unfortunate part that Barton was referring to (the part 
that creates humor) is the joining of e-colli with a weight loss spam.


Getting e. coli is a quick way to loose weight, but a VERY unpleasant and 
rather grotesque way to do it.


(slightly gross, as this page describes the symtpoms of e. coli, but 
nothing too graphic:)

So, how would you like to try my new weight loss program, recognized by 
the CDC itself!


I dunno, I thought the mention of the Army Corps of Engineers and pumping in 
the same message as a lose weight message was pretty funny as well...
